>Apple today launched its annual Back to School promotion in the U.S. and Canada, offering a free pair of Beats Solo2 Wireless Headphones to qualifying students, parents of students, educators, and select others that purchase an eligible Mac with education pricing, including the iMac, MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and Mac Pro. As usual, the Mac mini and refurbished Macs are excluded from the deal.
>Tfw get a free pair of sweet Beats with my 2016 rMBP
Girls bang you if you wear these, right?
No.
>sales are slowing down
>better offer some free shit (that only costs a few bucks to make) to try and increase sales
>hope the goys fall for it
Honestly since when does apple stoop to such things ?
All these years they have been so smug about their products that they basically sold themselves and now this..
>>54883810
Nice concern trolling
>Macbooks are overpriced
>Ok, show me a similarly priced laptop with the same specs or better. Reminder that $1300 rMBPs are light, have a 2560x1600 retina display, 8GB RAM, outstanding battery life, NVMe SSDs and the best build quality and support in the business

who /ccna/ here
GPLfags insist that the GPL prevents companies from stealing code and using it in proprietary products without compensation. They say the BSD license doesn't prevent this and that is why we must use the GPL.
But what about Android? Android is a proprietary platform that is locked down, preventing you from modifying the environment (unless you defeat the protections i.e. jailbreak). Google just took Linux, which is a GPL licensed product, and used it in a proprietary system, laughing all the way to the bank. They can do this because they just engineer their system to hook into Linux, rather than modifying it. Any modifications they do contribute are modifications that help them and their products.
The GPL doesn't stop the commercialisation of software. All it does is increase the risk that you will randomly get sued on a technicality if you work with GPL software.
Android isn't locked down by google, it's the carriers modding the OS that locks it down. you fucking faggot.

I'm so confused with the linux distros. I've only tried Mint, but I've been told it's the least safe distro. Should I switch to debian? I think it comes without codecs and it's not compatible with ppa's. Maybe Manjaro? But it has no apt, so maybe ubuntu? They say it comes with propietary and malware, for fuck's sake, /g/, what do?
>>54883401
Fuck off, we already have a loonix general to contain you autists.
well mint is based off debian so you're pretty much wouldnt be much of a change if you switched to debian other than the desktop environment.

POO
I'm going to purchase a domain name for a website, but where is the best place to purchase from?
I would LOVE to have a website with one page being dedicated to recipes with a Pinterest style continuous scroll with images and links to the recipes shown in the images. How could this be accomplished? Maybe some of you code and know how I can create that myself or maybe one of you knows where I can get a template that allows that.
The rest of my site will pretty much be like this, except obviously more polished and with more information and interesting additions. https://goveganoroffyourself.wordpress.com/
Thanks if you can help.
Ignore the picture.
Get a $50 WordPress theme with all the templates your heart could desire. Get a domain name. Get cheap shared hosting. Install WordPress and theme.

I'm poor and honestly was hoping for something under 15 dollars/year.
What lossy codecs does /g/ use for carrying their music around on mobile devices? I use 80k Opus (VBR) and it sounds damn near perfect on my HD600s. My library goes from 160GB in FLAC to 13GB.
>>54883314
96 vbr Opus on my phone and 512 vbr Opus on my laptop. I actually got rid of all my flac rips completely, they're just bloat desu. If I ever need to re-encode music to another format for whatever reason I'll just transcode from my 512 vbr Opus files.

I looked up the ingredients.
Hey /g/,
Currently have an i5 2500k and a GTX 770 that I use to game at 1440p 60 Hz.
When load monitor, I generally get ~80% CPU utilization and ~90-100% GPU utilization.
I'll likely be buying an 880 soon, but I'm worried about being CPU bottlenecked.
However, when I look at benchmarks comparing my 2500k to say, a 6600k or a 6700k, there doesn't seem to be big difference in CPU performance despite my processor being ancient.
So the question is, how likely am I to be bottlenecked by the 2500k considering even brand new CPUs only seem to benchmark ~30% faster?
>>54883184
*likely buying a 1080 soon
Fuck.
>>54883184
If you get the 1080, you probably won't have too many problems as far as what you are currently doing. But if you do stuff that is more intense, that would be a probable bottleneck.
>>54883317
So basically I wouldn't be able to run any games I couldn't already run now, and I wouldn't be able to get higher framerates or run with higher graphics settings.
